The Citrus Heights Police Department said the burglary happened between midnight and 8 a.m. on the 12400 block of Fair Oaks Boulevard.

Officers said an undisclosed amount of money and cigarettes was taken from the In & Go Market, but they are unsure how many people were involved in this incident.

No employees were inside the store during the burglary.

Officers told merchants they suspect the thieves climbed a tree to gain access to the roof of the complex and entered a vacant store by a roof hatch.

From there, they cut a hole in a wall, which existed in cabinets in the Permanent Cosmetic Clinic, where the owner discovered a mess.

“It flabbergasted me as to how much debris there was,” said Linda Woods.

“You could not walk in here,” she said. “Everything from all these cupboards, which is a lot of stuff, everything was pulled out in this room.”

Woods said the burglars then cut holes in the clinic hallway leading into the small market.

Although her entire clinic was a mess, she said very few items appeared to be missing.

Woods also said that burglars left a duffel bag of cigarettes, tools and a crowbar.

Crime scene investigators watched surveillance video from inside the business and did get a description of what one of the thieves was wearing. Police say a suspect is seen wearing a green and purple sweatshirt.

Police are waiting for the business owner to provide security video to investigators.

Employees at the market told KCRA 3 news that the owner would not comment and that news cameras were not welcome inside.
